Chapter 159
159 Twice In A Day
Scarlett’s POV
I have to admit, Oliver Scott is a good actor alright.
I didn’t add too much twist in the movie for Adrian’s role. In the story, he is just an admirer who is fun, teasing with genuine love. Flat characters like this don’t entice the audience that much. He is not a necessary role for the plot, but a hidden bonus in the movie just for me.
But Oliver Scott made him luring
He painted a bad boy who is annoying, who is feared and worshipped by his peers, wh own way, and who is the opposite of the white knight. But even so, he doesn’t come a deeper character with many layers.

If the love between the boy and the girl who he saved is a sweet cheesecake, then his feelings toward Scar” is like a bowl of spicy buffalo wings – dangerous yet luring, scary yet enticing.
“I know I’m not exactly what you imagine for this role,” Oliver Scott leaves the scene, walking up to me.” but I convinced the director to show you what I can bring out of that character. I see potential in him, and I think he can be more than just a supporting role.”
He surely did. He almost made his love story as heavy as my main characters.
“Hmm…” I hesitate. I admit I don’t like him because of Damian Vanderbilt, but that’s not a legit reason to block him on his career when he is the right person, “I guess–”
“You are the little wolf, aren’t you? If the evil you do is eating lambs, then I’ll be setting traps for you.”
He squats down by my chair like a big dog, his chin on his forearms which are folded on the arm of my chair as he looks up at me. I flinch back into my seat, nervous at the bright grin he gives me
he never even met Adrian, and yet he not only saw through my story, but he knows how to give me exactly the look. Adrian did!
This man is good!
Fine, I’m sold. I might not like him, but he is the right one for the role.
“The director chose you,” I dart my eyes away, not wanting to admit that his acting totally convinced me, 50-”
“I don’t want his approval,” The big dog smirks at me, “I want yours. I like Edward in your story, and I want to bring him to life, for you.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Okay, he really is good with women. I think that’s why he feels so right for this role. He knows how to make one feel like they are important.
“I’m going to a party tonight,” He grins at me, his smile clean like sunshine, “Would you like to come with me? Just to talk about the character, and to help you feel better about your choice.”
I can’t seem to say no to him.
He is popular for a reason! I blink, looking at him carefully for the first time. Damian Vanderbilt wears his reddish–brown hair short and clean with its tips combed backward but only a little, just like the

professional lawyer he is. He rarely smiles — well, unless he is with women he is interested in, like Lilith and Ava. Oliver Scott is the opposite of his good friend. He wears his soft golden hair much longer with the tip draping to a side just a little over his eyes. Just at the first look, he seems more friendly and gentle whereas Damian Vanderbilt would come off as tough and cold.
I like his sunny character.
He left soon after that scene. I didn’t know James Deep called him over just to give me a taste of the main characters he chose for the movie. We spent the day on focused scenes of Aria and Samuel, when I realized James Deep didn’t really need me that much. I don’t know how but he seems to understand the story as deeply as I do without knowing my past. Mostly I just sit on the chair and watch–
Watch Ava and Sebastian’s story happen in front of me. This would have been what the girl Sebastian saved.
or, if Sebastian didn’t mistake her for me.
Would we have been so happy, if that happened?
ned if Ava was
I can’t help but remember the sorrow in his eyes today, when he mumbled that he wasn’t a monster.
He wasn’t. I just have been blinded by jealousy for so long that I forgot how kind he was. I don’t know if can rekindle my love even for the perfect boy in my memory like James Deep wanted, but maybe…
Maybe I can stop hating him.
At the end of the day, he was a victim of Ava’s lie, just like me. He wanted to protect me the girl who he saved. He thought he was.
“Done for the day?”
Sebastian’s voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
“I thought you left?!” Twice in a day? What’s he even doing here? I sit up in surprise, tapping my phone for
the time.
“I’m here to pick you up from work,” He gives me a hand, smiling at me just like the day when he saved me, “Mrs. Knight.”
